How to add Gnome to the login manager

Postby SuSELinux » Sun Jul 27, 2003 2:32 am

I just installed Gnome and then Ximian Desktop on top of that, Ive been using KDE forever and thought I'd give Gnome a second look.

any way now that I have it installed how do I add it to my options when I login

Im using the default KDE login manager for SuSE 8.2

run "kcontrol" and go to "system administration > login manager > sessions" and at the bottom of the screen there's a little dialogue for adding new desktop sessions (such as blackbox, gnome, kde etc), i think you can just add "gnome" and it'll work...

I might be doing something wrong but if I do that it just boots me into KDE when I choose gnome as my session.

Is there a plan B?

not that i know of, i haven't done this myself, i have only added blackbox and xfce but it looks like there's some other step you need to do when you add gnome (those other two i mentioned are a lot more simple than gnome).....

don't know.
